However, significant age relaxations are granted to candidates from reserved categories, allowing OBC, SC, ST, and PwBD applicants to apply beyond the base maximum limit.

Every single document—whether it is your Cancelled Cheque for registration, or your Marksheets, Admit Card, Score Card, and Category Certificates for reporting—must be uploaded as a <strong>clear PDF file sized between 20 KB and 500 KB</strong>. You can use our <a href='/mcc/neet-ug-counselling/pdf-compressor' class='text-brand font-bold hover:underline'>PDF Compressor</a> to meet these exact limits.

For Deemed Universities, the registration fee is ₹5,000 and the security deposit is a flat ₹2,00,000 across all categories.
Can I edit my MCC Counselling application after paying the fee?

What are the password creation rules for the MCC portal?
Your MCC password must be between 8 to 13 characters long. It strictly requires at least one uppercase alphabet, one lowercase alphabet, one numeric value, and one special character (e.g., ! @ # $ % ^ & * -).
What documents are required specifically for NRI candidates during registration?
NRI/OCI/Foreign Nationals must upload standard documents (DOB, 10th, 12th, NEET Score Card, Passport) PLUS specific proof: an NRI Certificate issued by the Embassy/Consulate, an Affidavit indicating the relationship of the sponsor, and a notarized Affidavit from the sponsor covering the entire course fee supported by a true copy of their NRE Bank Account Passbook. All must be PDFs between 20 KB and 500 KB.
Why do I need to upload a Cancelled Cheque or Bank Passbook?
During 'Step 5' of the registration process, uploading a clear PDF of a Cancelled Cheque, Bank Passbook, or Online Bank Statement containing your account details is mandatory. This is required by MCC to ensure the accurate processing of your refundable security deposit at the end of the counselling process.
Is this age calculator officially provided by MCC?
No. FreeApplyTools is an independent utility platform. However, our engine is hardcoded to strictly follow the official MCC notification rules and cut-off dates for 2026. We recommend using this as a quick reference, but always cross-check with the official MCC notification for your specific exam and post.
What is the official Cut-off Date for age calculation?
For the 2026 cycle, MCC calculates your exact age as on December 31, 2026. Our calculator automatically uses this exact date.
Common NEET-UG Counselling 2026 Age Eligibility Errors
"Applying under wrong category relaxation"
Many candidates select General instead of their eligible reservation category, missing out on age relaxation of up to 5–10 years for OBC/SC/ST.
"Incorrect DOB entered during registration"
Even a single-day typo can render you ineligible. Always cross-check your DOB against your 10th certificate before submitting.
"Cut-off date confusion"
MCC calculates age as on December 31, 2026 — not the exam date or application date. Our calculator already uses this exact date.
